During the lysogenic cycle is a provirus part of a host cell's chromosome?

Yes, during the lysogenic cycle of a viral infection, a provirus integrates into the host cell's chromosome. The provirus DNA becomes part of the host cell's genetic material and is replicated along with the host DNA during cell division.


Why does HPV cause cancer?

HPV can cause cancer by integrating its DNA into the host cell's DNA, leading to abnormal cell growth and potentially cancerous changes.


During the lysogenic cycle the viral genome replication and the host cell is destroyed. true or false?

False. During the lysogenic cycle, the viral genome integrates into the host cell's genome and replicates along with it without destroying the host cell. This is in contrast to the lytic cycle where the host cell is ultimately destroyed during viral replication.


What during the lytic cycle?

The host cell is destroyed.


What happens during the lytice cycle?

The host cell is destroyed.


What is the process in which viral infections results in cancer?

Viral infections can lead to cancer by integrating viral DNA into the host cell's genome, causing mutations that disrupt normal cell growth control mechanisms. Some viruses can also promote inflammation, which can create an environment conducive to cancer formation. Additionally, viral proteins may interfere with key cellular processes, leading to uncontrolled cell division and tumor formation.

During what process does a virus kill its host cell?

The Lytic Cycle.


How are the normal functions of the host cell affected by the provirus?

The provirus integrates into the host cell's DNA and can disrupt normal gene expression and signaling pathways. This interference may alter the cell's functions, leading to changes in growth, differentiation, or metabolism. In some cases, this can lead to uncontrolled cell division and potentially contribute to the development of diseases like cancer.
